After some experimentation with QLocalServer/QLocalSocket I discovered 
this is not a workable solution, at least on Windows. With the polling 
and spurious 100ms delays in the Windows implementation sending of a 
mere 3MB over a QLocalSocket takes almost 10 seconds.

I'm going to play around with just writing a couple of raw files to disk 
and using memory mapping to pull them into the client's address space.
